I spent all of September doing research in South Dakota, and often asked random people who would win a Thune vs. Sandlin Senate matchup. Everyone said they liked Sandlin, and it would be a close race, but Thune would win. This isn't scientific polling, of course, just emperical observations.
I agree with the general consensus here- Sandlin would be a strong, perhaps unbeatable, candidate for governor, and I strongly expect to see her on a national ticket at some point in my lifetime. Because SD only has one congressional district its very easy indeed for a congresswoman to jump to a higher office, as she is known state-wide.
